Zakk Wylde Announces 2016 North American Tour

Guitar icon Zakk Wylde just can't seem to get enough of the road. Having already wrapped up two tours already in 2016, he will venture out as a solo act in support of his new acoustic record, Book of Shadows II, on a massive North American tour starting in July.

With the Experience Hendrix and Generation Axe tours already in the books, Wylde will now have the chance to showcase his softer side as the crooner delivers new cuts like "Sleeping Dogs" and "Autumn Changes." Joining the legend on the run will be Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown and Jared James Nichols. The tour will kick off on July 8 in Dallas, Texas, head towards the East Coast to Florida, back out to the Midwest before traveling to the Northeast and Canada, heading south again and ultimately closing out on the West Coast in California, hitting over 40 cities in the process.

Tickets will go on sale on Thursday, May 12.

Book of Shadows II stands as the successor to Wylde's first solo album, Book of Shadows, which was released 20 years ago in 1996. The new record reached No. 18 on the Billboard 200 chart. Wylde has kept busy this year not only on tour, but with his own guitar company, Wylde Audio, as well which will be releasing a line of signature guitars in the future.
